Well... Having a 5 deg pitch limit, with a 3 deg nose up deck angle during approach means you don't get much to work with...
I miss the plane, and at the same time.. I really don't.

It shouldn't have been. If they had given up on the common type, at let it run as its own machine, it could have been great... Instead it was a box with tons of technology that wasn't integrated well at all, operated by the lowest bidders ( and still is)

Yep.
It COULD have been an awesome platform, but you know the saying, could've, should've, would've...

Should've bought a Honda?
Honestly, I don't think bombardier has pilot/engineers on the design staff. I mean Catiii? Who thought that was important in a dash8? If that design capital was put into an effective yaw damper/3axis autopilot!
Also if they did away from the "supplemental" $30,000 sheet of paper to remove a limitation.

You're the 5th person I've heard say that about the Q. Must be a lot of truth to it. To the OP, enjoy the Q and try to have fun

Wow you guys sure know how to build confidence for somebody (sarcasm). For a guy going from a no autopilot instructor job, I am still sure I will be blown away by the amount of automation and ease of flying!

I can imagine V1 cuts are a joy in that thing.
Yeah, training is challenging Mark so stay focused but its not anything that can't be handled. Take it serious and you'll be fine.

No, they are hiring tons for the E170 as well. But for me the base and contract option was MUCH better to start off in the Q.

It's got a huge tail which is hydraulically powered.. V1 cuts are pretty easy.
When you want to move the tail, it does easily... The problem is when you don't want it to move.

The only thing you need relating to flying is your certificate and medical, because your going to be typed.
Headset, knee board, flashlight, not needed.
Maybe a flashlight. We are required to have one, and some FAA inspectors don't count the ones installed in the airplane.
Bring an open mind. The dude who may appear to be a Dbag, maybe the one to leach to for info. Or they may just be a Dbag.
Get a class roster with contact info on day one, not sure if your instructors are that proactive,
Have beer/pizza study sessions at night.
Get to know your classmates.

When the ground school instructor calls and says that strutting around the hotel pool naked isn't a good idea, you may have taken things too far.
